More about this scene
Though slightly obscured by the sunblind, there is one shop in this parade that is still here today (2004). This is Baldwin's, selling household linens, established by Edwin Baldwin in 1935 when this terrace was built. This is one of the very few shops that still observe half-day closing - each Wednesday it closes at 1pm.

I've always heard stories of my granny, Margaret Baldock, growing up in Haywards Heath. Her father, Arthur Baldock, was the gardener at Brook House as well as the village photographer in the 1890's - early 1900's. I've been searching for some details about this - any thoughts? This looks like such beautiful countryside; I would love to visit one day and have some first hand memories of the place!
Anyone have any memories or know anyone who lived in the Bentswood Road area during the early 1950s. I was born in Haywards Heath in 1949 and Bentswood Road is on my birth certificate.

She married a James William Storey (Jock) from Gateshead who was ...see more
